BUREAU OF PENSIONS,
WARRINGTON, Oct. 20, 1887.
Mr.. EDWARD A. DUBEY. Brooklyn Y.
DEAR SIR AND CoMRADE: From mutual friend
have learned TINT you and your associates of the
Bureau of Employment and Relief of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Kings County propose to
make a part OF the coming Winter red and warm
with generous charity by extending to the widows
and orphans of dead comrades and to such of the
survivors of the war residing in your city may
be found upon investigation to be in INDECENT cir
cumstances, q Christmas dinner. understand that
10 this dinner the children of the public schools
will contribute, and that you will also be aided by
the circulation and advertisements OF your paper,
the Carol. The Rtfectionate feeling of the people
for their veteran soldery has taken many touching
forms, but have heard of nothing that Is kinder,
that has more OF the marks OF spOntaneousness and
that has less afiectaton in II than this enterprise
which opens the little hand of childhood and puts
the mite of the infant beside the gift of the strong
man, which, during and on Christs day makes
the world warm and bright for those who have
suffered for the country aud who have given their
time and blood to the advancement OF the great
cause Of liberty and union. Accept my sincere
Fluctuations that you have been allowed TO con-
ceve so gracious thing and that 1t is permitted 10
you 10 assist In its carrying out.
Very truly, yours. JOHN Q. BLACx

many individuals that the war Of the rebellion
called back to the military life they had aban-
doned TO engage in civil pursuits. The period
of the Mexican war he spent as Cadet at West
Point, where he graduated so high rs TO obtain
an artillery appointment, and in 1857, when he
resigned TO engage in civil engineering at his
old home, Detroit, he was still only First

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as o cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements Of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. ID. w. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
"I suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. / tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until /
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.

Dyspepsia

and Constipation are almost universal.
Mr.. GALLAGHER, practical chemist, Of
Roxbury, Mass, who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
"a friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, was disposed to quit
them; but he urged perseverance, and,
before L had finished the second box,
began to experience relief. / continued
taking them, at intervals, until had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say,
that am now well man, and grateful

The head and stomach are always in
sympathy hence the cause of most of
those distressing headaches, to which
so many, especially women, are subject.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeep-
sic, n. Y, writes that for years she was
a martyr to headache, and never found
anything to give her more than tenn
porary relief, until she began taking
Ayers Pills, since which she has been
in the enjoyment of perfect health.
